Complex Session Data

I think yours is kinda difficult (hard codding) to settle it.

Usually I used :

function validate_user($data_post){
$records = $this->db->get_where('db_user', $data_post);
if($records->num_rows() > 0){
$rec = $records->row();
$user_data = array("username"=>$rec->user_name, "permission"=>$rec->user_permission, "id"=>$rec->user_id);
$this->session->set_userdata($user_data);
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}

in my model. you can join more tables as your requirement
